Buffer System
The two ProteOn buffer bottles can hold either identical or different fluids. At
any given time, the fluidics system is connected to a single source. The fluids
for both syringe pumps flow from a single bottle.
The buffer system includes the following components:
• Two 2 L buffer bottles with tubing-fitted screw caps. The bottles are
housed in the buffer compartment and can hold either identical or
different fluids
• Two selection valves that allow fluid from either bottle to flow into
the syringe pumps. Buffer selection can be controlled manually and
with ProteOn Manager software
• Two syringe pumps
• In-line degasser extracts dissolved air from the buffer fluid. It has
six channels, one for each syringe pump line
• Three buffer control buttons
